nxtvepg
nxtvepg is a decoder and browser for Nextview, a subscription-free electronic TV program guide in the analog domain. Nextview EPG currently is broadcast in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and Turkey, and it covers the schedules of all major TV networks in these countries. nxtvepg is an X11 application with a GUI based on Tcl/Tk and uses video4linux or BSD bktr drivers for data acquisition through a TV tuner card.

- 12 Oct 2008 14:29
Changes: Several bugs in the Linux driver interface were fixed, which previously made acquisition fail to start on certain Linux installations. A bug in the Nextview EPG data stream decoder was fixed, which previously sometimes lead to display of corrupt or entirely blank network names. Various display bugs (related to changes for Tcl/Tk 8.5 compatibility) were fixed, such as incorrectly displayed "special" characters in the main window and configuration dialogs and even a crash upon program start with thread-enabled Tcl/Tk libraries.

Changes: A grabber tjat extracts EPG data from teletext pages has been added. Import and merge of EPG data from XMLTV files has been implemented.

I think I can reply to this with even less words than in this "error report": Don't do that.
Long version: nxtvepg comes with it's own Bt8x8 driver for M$ Windows. All other applications and drivers (including BTWincap) which might access the TV card should be terminated before starting nxtvepg.
If that doesn't help, please provide a comprehensive description of your problem - but please don't do that here (esp. not for M$ related problems), instead use the discussion forum or mailing list at the nxtvepg project pages at sourceforge.net. TIA.
